Sandra in the 1980s

Marriage, Children, SCA, Radical Mom-Work

Sometimes there's a good driver's license photo.

The 1980's were busily overbooked and we rode it through. The first half of the decade I was an SCA corporate vice president (Seneschal of Atenveldt) and then president (Steward of the Society). For much of that time I was also working full time (50 hours) at the records office at UNM, and when I quit that job I was asked by the board what I would take to be steward full time and not get another job. It didn't take much.

Other highlights too long to detail:

Two weddings (same day: modern and medieval) on March 31, 1984.

A hugely broken leg, July 1985, resulting in a week in the hospital, six months in a cast, involvement in Adult Children of Alcoholics meetings and a surprise pregnancy.
